What aspects and elevations are skiing well right now? I'm guessing that there is a crust on a lot of stuff.

We all chuckled about how difficult it must be to chase down a sled while on tele skis, but I guess they get their man often enough; its an area where I don't see too many sleds where they aren't supposed to be.

I indeed do respect the athleticism of modern mountain snowmobiling. It's become amazing! Like I say, let's get it all happening legally, then after that we'll work on any remaining user conflicts. We got the Nytro front end ball joint recall done and it seemed to help. Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to prevent it from dumping oil every time it tips over. Can't believe Yamaha didn't engineer something that helps with that -- it's a mountain sled and all mountain sleds spend time on their side at one time or another! But I've got several solutions to pick from, thanks to sledneck culture (grin)! Hi Max, thanks for the comment. I indeed do respect the athleticism of modern mountain snowmobiling.

Throwing around a 470+ pound machine is no easy task, and the stuff these guys are doing is truly amazing. Just go on google and search slednecks. Don't get me wrong, illegal riding is NOT okay, however, you shouldn't think that these guy don't work for their peaks. Legal mountain riders=good. Illegal riders/poachers=bad. BTW, the '08 nytro had some front end issues, thats is probably the main cause of the tippyness.
